Part 1 B:
Image, Source: intermediary roll film
This picture represents the 1930's in Alabama because there are two hard working African Americans trying to support their families through the hard times. It appears that they're working on a southern plantation,which was very common in the 1930's. Also, the plantation doesn't look like it's not doing to well. So, they won't get much money furthering th depresssion.
Part 2 A:
Image, Source: intermediary roll film
1.) What do you notice first? What, if any, words do you see? What is the physical setting? The first thing I noticed is that there's a store, however, no one is near the store and the street is completely empty. The words that I see are, "Eagle's Store",
"Eagle's Store Junilee", and "50th YEAR OF BUSINESS IN SELHA". The physical setting is "Eagle's Store" in Selha, Alabama. 2.) What’s missing from this image? What can you learn from examining this image? What’s happening in the image? People are missng from this photo. There should at least be one person walking on the street, maybe even someone visible through the windows. I learned that something must be going on in town to cause no one to be in or around this store. Nothing at all is happening in this image, which is what tells you that something else is happeining somewhere else in town.
3.) What? When? How?
What caused no one to be outside? When was this? How is there not one person outside?
Image, Source: intermediary roll film
1.) Describe what you see. What people and objects are shown? What other details can you see?
This picture looks like a calm, stereotypical neighborhood to me. There are no people shown in this image, however, there are about five houses that are shown and look disserted. I can also see that the grass looks a little dead and there are bushes, that appear to be slowly dying, nect to each house.
2.) When do you think it was made? If someone made this today, what would be different? What would be the same?
I think this pictur was taken in the late 1930's and that everyone's inside their houses afraid of the civil rights moevments occurng outside. The thing that would be different is that there probably would be children outside playing with each other or their families. Something that would be the same would be the placement of the houses.
3.) How? Why? Who?
How is there not at least one child outside? Why does it look so deserted and empty? Who lives in these houses?
Image, Source: intermediary roll film
1.) What people and objects are shown? How are they arranged? What is the physical setting? There is a mother and little boy working on what appears to be a plantation or farm. The older woman is in the front while the little boy is farther back and appears to be loking at the older woman. The physical setting is a plantation in Alabama.
2.) Why do you think this image was made? What’s happening in the image? What do you notice first?
I think this image was made to show the true hardship that African Americanas faced in the south. Most white woman and small children didn't have to work, but African Americans did. In this image an African American woman and a small child are working on what appears to be a sothern plantation. The first thing I noticed was the child becuase of how unusual it seemed to have such a small child participating in physical labor.
3.) Why? Where? How?
Why is the little boy working? Where is his mother? How could you let your child be a part of this physical labor?
Part 2 B:
Bethlehem-Fairfield shipyards, Baltimore, Maryland. A drinking fountain
1.) Describe what you see. What do you notice first? What is the physical setting?
I see an area where only white people can access water and soup. The first thing I noticed was the water fountain, then I saw soup, and finally I noticed that only whites were allowd to have water and soup from here. The physical setting is what appears to be an old version of a soup kitchen that only allows white people to use.
2.) Why do you think this image was made? Who do you think was the audience for this image? What can you learn from examining this image?
I think this image was made to show the segregation in the south. I think the audiance for this image was civil right activists to show them what is happening all over the south and how real segregation is. You can learn that simple things, such as water and soup, couldn't be shared amoung whites and blacks.
3.) How? Why? Who?
How could people be so harsh toanother race? Why was water and soup not allowed to all races? Who created this water and soup stand for only whites?
Street scene near bus station in Durham, North Carolina
1.) What people and objects are shown? How are they arranged? What, if any, words do you see?
There's a group of white girls walkingon the side walk, cars and a bike in the road, and a bathroom door that says, "WHITE LADIES ONLY" on it. It's arranged so that you can see this part of town is mainy white becuas of the group of white girls and then the bathrrom door appearing right beside them. The words I see are, "WHITE LADIES ONLY" on the bathroom door and "Southern Daries Ice Cream" on the sign aove the girls.
2.) What’s happening in the image? If someone made this today, what would be different? What would be the same?
In this image a group of white girls that are probably friends are walking down the side walk after getting ice cream. Something that'd be different about this picture is that the door would say, "LADIES" instead of "WHITE LADIES ONLY". Something that would be the same would be a grouo of friends walking home after getting ice cream.
3.) Where? What? How?
Where is this? What would happen if an African American woman went into this bathroom? How could people let this segragation happen and think it's normal and okay?
At the bus station in Durham, North Carolina
1.) What is the physical setting? What do you notice first? What other details can you see?
The physical setting is a colored waiting room for a train. The first thing I notice is the African American man staring at the posters on the side of the wall and then I see the sign hanging above his head. I see the other African Americans sitting down behind the man reading the posters.
2.) Why do you think this image was made? What’s happening in the image? When do you think it was made? I think this image was made to show people that blacks couldn't even go on the same train as white people, or wait in the area. There's a group of African Americans waiting to get on a train and the train just arrived. I think this was taken in the early 1940's.
3.) Why? How? Where?
Why can't white people wait in the same are as black people? How long were things like this? Where was this station?
Part 3 A:
These people were all hard working and dedicated to what they did. As you can see in Alice Caudle's interview, http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/wpaintro/alice.html, she says that working in a mill is what she was born to do. Also, she states that she wouldn't want to do anything else, like be a maid or house wife. Even though workinig in a mill and working as a maid are completly different these people are still very similar. Mrs. Marie Haggerty, http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/wpaintro/marie.html, still she had dedication to what she did. Even housewives felt this way, which I can from
Mrs. Elizabeth E. Miller's interview, http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/wpaintro/eliza.html. Mrs. Elizabeth E. Miller felt great pride in herself for bringing the hog in all by herself, ususally housewives don't do this kind of work. However, Mrs. Elizabeth E. Miller must truly enjoy helping around her house to even do soemthign no one would expect from her. Mr. Garavelli, http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/wpaintro/garavel.html, doesn't get much money from his job and can die from silica, whhy would he do this? Simply becuase of his devotion to his work. Even the African Americans who were treated unfairly felt this devotion, as I can tell from Jim Cole's interview, http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/wpaintro/jimcole.html. Jim Cole couldn't move up into higher ranks becuase of his race, and he knew this, but he still stayed at his work place and did the best job he could do in this postition. Even though these people were different races and genders and held different jobs, they all were devoted to their jobs and hard workers. This was a very hard time period becuase of the Great Depression and all of the racism occuring in the south. These people represent it becuase they all continued to work and try their hardest to make ends meet. Also, Jim Cole didn't let racism stop him from getting a job and working his hardest, yet he'd never get a promotion and knew this.
